The Magpies have named a 34-man squad, who will be supported by colleagues from across the club, for the inaugural Premier League Summer Series, which will see United play three matches in the East Coast across the next two weeks.

First up for Eddie Howe's side will be Aston Villa at Lincoln Financial Field - the impressive home of Philadelphia Eagles - before Darren Eales and Miguel Almirón return to Atlanta as the Magpies face Chelsea at the magnificent Mercedes-Benz Stadium. United will round the trip off with a match against Brighton at established MLS venue Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.

Joelinton has not been able to fly out with his team-mates due to a visa issue, but it is hoped that he will link up with the squad in the coming days. Emil Krafth is still recovering from injury but will continue his rehabilitation in the US.

The team will also be joined by United legends Shay Given and Shola Ameobi and the club will be holding a number of informal supporter meet and greet sessions throughout the trip, including a 45-minute interactive supporter event on Friday, 21st July which will see Given give insights into his playing career.
